I have a 2007 Sport Trac and have noticed the rear brakes making a rattling sound when I go over any rough roads. There is a TSB dealing with this (09-22-13).

According to the TSB there are no anti-rattle clips on the original rear pads and the fix is to install brake kit 8L2Z-2200-AB. Does anyone know if the less expensive Motorcraft kit BR-1109-B uses the same anti-rattle clips as 8L2Z-2200-AB? I suspect not since the TSB refers to an "anti-rattle loop" in Figure 3 and the cheaper kit does not have any "loops" that I can see in the clips. I am guessing the biggest reason for the price difference is the pad material but I suppose it could also be the clip design.
 






I think I just found the answer, the "anti-rattle loop" is actually attached to one of the pads rather than being part of the slider. The less expensive kit also has the loop.
